Hi All,

> d = data.frame(a=1:10,b=1:10)
> by1 = rep(c("a","b"),5)
> by(d, by1, function(z) z[,,drop=F])
by1: a
 a b
1 1 1
3 3 3
5 5 5
7 7 7
9 9 9
------------------------------------------------------------
by1: b
   a  b
2   2  2
4   4  4
6   6  6
8   8  8
10 10 10


> by(d, by1, function(z) z[,1,drop=F])
[1] 1 3 5 7 9
------------------------------------------------------------
[1]  2  4  6  8 10

Can somebody explain why are the dimnames (i.e. by1: a by1: b) not there this time.


Many Thanks
Utkarsh
